@charles.duhigg: Neuroscience shows there are two types of resistance that stop you from doing hard things: emotional resistance, when your amygdala reacts to a task feeling too big, and identity resistance, when your brain protects the story you tell about who you are. I get around both by committing to just two minutes, and if that's too much, just setting myself up for the task, since by the time I prepare, resistance has already lost. #CharlesDuhigg #SmarterFasterBetter #Neuroscience

This is the kind of practical neuroscience we love at Zyrrah 🧠 Sometimes you don’t need more motivation you just need to make the first step small enough that your brain stops treating it like a threat.

What do you call the type of resistance when you have a 20 hour task because you are overwhelmed by the other 30 ish 1-5 hour tasks you have on your plate? Also these 30ish tasks are beyond the daily tasks required such as going to work, cooking supper raising kids ect

I want to learn violin. I hired one and it’s been sitting in my room for months. I can’t take myself seriously playing it as I’m not a creative person.

i know this works i tried it and it does. the thing i don’t understand and seems weird to me is that i have to trick, overcome or fight my brain to do things that i know are good for me, will carry me forward etc. is it because the brain hasn’t caught up physiologically to the demands of modern life?

Sometimes, I just put on my gym clothes, if I end up there great! If I just go for a walk, great. If I just took the step, great.
